WEAVING CULTURES MURAL

"Weaving Cultures”, is a new mural celebrating underrepresented women of diverse backgrounds, including a transgender Latina. The 15 ft. x 40 ft. mural, was developed to increase awareness and encourage a dialogue around unity and acceptance. Located at the intersection of 16th and Blue Island in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, the mural sits at the border of a predominantly large Latino and African-American community, an area known as an artists’ enclave that is also experiencing gentrification.

A big thank you to Don Julio Tequila and TCG Collective for the opportunity to curate Don Julio presents Galeri'a 1942. If you missed the event this past weekend, check out the footage to see the work of 15 of Chicago's Latino Artists on miniature ‪#‎DonJulio‬ trucks.

Galeria del Barrio Mural Restoration

Our first project with Chicago Public Art Group, we successfully restored a mural completed by Aurelio Diaz in 1976 a part of the mural movement that began in the Pilsen neighborhood by Latino Artists. The mural spans 100ft in length and ranges from 10ft to 16ft in height. Commissioned by the City of Chicago and the Office of Danny Solis, this mural is the first part of a project to bring more art to the Pilsen Community and keep past works and cultural history alive.
